Copycat Rotisserie Chicken
Here I present, my quintessential, updated, roasted chicken method. There are two things to pay attention to. First the calculation that will be provided is PERFECT! Follow the formula, and I promise you, that you will have the juiciest Roasted Chicken. Full stop.
The second consideration is that this is inspired by Costco Chicken, but I used a lot more green herbs (flavour), so the colour is different.
Are you ready??? This chicken is THAT good!
The Formula
Cooking Time (minutes) = Weight of Chicken (lbs) x 20 + 15
1.706 KG is 3.75 lb (2.2 pounds in a KG)
3.75 lb x 20 = 75.06
Add 15 = 90.06
(I do not round up, but you can).
I roasted the chicken at 350 degrees, for 90 minutes.
Then I let it rest for 5 minutes, without covering it.
This is how you make it
Combine the Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper, then add in the olive oil to form a paste-like texture.
Lightly season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper, then add in the bay leaves.
Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan.
Rub the seasoning blend evenly all over the chicken.
Season with coarse salt.
Transfer to the 350-degree oven, and roast according to the formula above. The weight of the chicken will be on the tag.
Once the chicken has finished roasting, let it rest for 5 minutes (uncovered) before carving.
